Lyrics
Long white hall and a humming light We have been here since the fall of night I have prayed, I have paced, I have worn the floor Now somebody's walking toward the door I can hear the footsteps coming I can feel my heart start drumming Bright corridor, good news coming Open up the doors, let the morning in Bright corridor, good news coming Every worried hour was worth it in the end Lift your head, lift your voice Let the whole wide world rejoice Bright corridor, good news coming Oh, I knew it, oh, I knew it all along Cold coffee and a plastic chair A thousand quiet whispers in the air I have told my fear it can go back home For the nurse is smiling, I am not alone I can hear the footsteps coming I can feel my heart start drumming Bright corridor, good news coming Open up the doors, let the morning in Bright corridor, good news coming Every worried hour was worth it in the end Lift your head, lift your voice Let the whole wide world rejoice Bright corridor, good news coming Oh, I knew it, oh, I knew it all along Now the sun is on the floor Gold across the tiles Everyone is on their feet Everyone is smiling Clap your hands for the gentle ones Who stayed up through the night Clap your hands for the ones who wait Now the waiting turns to light Bright corridor, good news coming Open up the doors, let the morning in Bright corridor, good news coming Every worried hour was worth it in the end Lift your head, lift your voice Let the whole wide world rejoice Bright corridor, good news coming Oh, I knew it, oh, I knew it all along Good news coming Good news coming
